Suzanne, we had problems closing the freezer door, too. Found small piece of white styrofoam stuck close to the hinge (was hard to see it). Once removed the door shut perfectly. Connie

I don't know. You can probably contact the company. It may depend on whether or not the "housing" (in which the door sits) is cracked/broken, too. Let us know what you learn from the company in case we have a similar problem. Good luck!

As far as I know there is nothing you can do to fix that other than to replace the part. You might find the occasional well-stocked hardware store that would have the part you are after but the better bet would be to contact Thermos directly at: 1-800-831-9242 or visit www.thermos.com. I have been handwashing mine - not sure if that absolutely needs to happen but so far there have been no issues doing it that way. Good luck!

It looks like you could repair it yourself. The hinges appear to just have screws. If not, call the manufacturer help line to see what they advise.

There is a screw to adjust the gap on the part of the hinge that attaches to the cabinet just barely loosen it so its moves with a little pressure then close doors adjust open doors tighten screw and it should work

So I just recently had to brake mine open... the key pad had malfunctioned and the key (to by pass the key pad) was not working. The handle was not catching when using the key resulting in the handle doing a 360 when frustratingly trying to open it. Easy fix I used a simple metal cutting tool (cut around the door to by pass the 6 metal rods, and a crowbar to brake it open. would send pictures but i cant attach a photo. They just don't make them like they use to..... but if your only worried about the hinge don't worry about it

My best guess would be to contact the seller, or Nordic Ware directly to get a new lid. Good Luck.

Mine was doing the same thing only after a few months of use. I used a needle-nosed pliers to bend the hinge on the left hand side just slightly. For ours it helped to bend it to the left and we continued to use trial and error of bending slightly then closing the door and repeating this until it closed snugly against the frame. Seems like a temporary fix, but hopefully it will hold out for at least a little bit. I also tried e-mailing the company about the problem and am waiting to hear back.

I assume it's locked up also? I'd contact the maker. They seem concerned that their product works well. They responded to my review about the poorly designed locking mechanism so they might just send you a replacement. Worth a shot!

There's probably something that fell from the freezer drawer to the back, and that's preventing the drawer drawer from closing. Also the ice maker has an arm (wire) that gets stuck, just manually push it down. (this is a good dorm room refrigerator, nothing else though)

Sorry it has been about six months since I actually repaired that machine. The customer serivce department was helpful when I was searching for this part though. Mr. Nelson....I will say that I remember finding a part that looked and seemed almost identical....but it was not! I apologize I could not be more help.

Hi, Joe- Are you having trouble closing the freezer? The only reason I can think of for that is that the way you have positioned the food in the freezer may be blocking the drawers from moving correctly. If you don't have food in the freezer and the door is not closing, then you need to contact Customer Service for assistance.

We actually had a piece break on one of the door hinges. I sent an email to the manufacturer and while it took them an age to get back to me (I believe I sent a second email) they sent us a replacement set and apologized for the delay.I suggest you contact them.

I purchased this with a new door panel. The plastic hinge on the old door broke. This part is a metal reinforcement for the plastic door hinge. Looks like this: Norcold 61631330 Black Hinge Plate on amazon. I went to the Norcold site and looked up the parts list for a new lower door. Then went to amazon for the door and amazon suggested a door hinge.

There is a small push pin on the door panel inside the hinge side. Push that to reset the PIN.
